Jefferson Wisconsin Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans (Medigap)

As we said earlier, Wisconsin is one of 3 states that do not follow the lettered plans. We have a base and we pick from a series of riders to match the benefits of a lettered Medicare supplement plan.

The Medicare Supplement Base

The base is the basic part of the Medicare supplement plan in Jefferson and it covers the 20% or coinsurance of Part A and Part B that Medicare does not cover. The base also covers 40 home health care visits in addition to what is paid for my Medicare. and the first 3 pints of blood. To expand the coverage we add riders that cover other various gaps left by Medicare.

The Wisconsin base plan must also offer coverage for the following state mandatory benefits:

30 days of skilled nursing care in a skilled nursing facility, no prior hospitalization may be required and the care must meet the standards of "medically necessary.

Kidney Disease: Must cover inpatient and outpatient expenses for dialysis, transplant or donor related services of kidney disease in an amount not less than $30,000.00 in any year. They are not required to duplicate Medicare payments for kidney disease treatment.

The Best Medicare Supplement Plan in Jefferson Wisconsin

When it comes to the best Medicare supplement in Jefferson, there really is no correct answer. This is due to everyone's needs and budget is not the same. The best Medicare supplement is the one that fits YOUR budget and health care needs.

That being said the most popular plans are the Wisconsin equivalent of the plan G and plan N. Plan F was the most popular but is quickly dropping due to the discontinuation of the plan and equivalent not being offered to new enrollments in 2020 and we do not recommend this plan.

We highly recommend the Medicare supplemental plan G or N, with the Medicare supplement plan N being the lowest cost monthly. The beautiful about the Medicare supplement Plan N in Jefferson, Wisconsin is that we can add the Part B excess rider that the rest of the country does not have, making the Plan N even more attractive.
